Default fess up- how many do you have? (on a lighter note...)

Welcome Kevin to our group & this wonderful hobby.
I have too many plants to list & have two smallish greenhouses.
I have about 500 cymbidiums that grow outside under shadecloth in S.Calif.
Have a diverse mix of orchids, probably have close to 2k! (very compulsive).
I use GroMore fert & a bloom booster at 1/4 strength then flush every 2
months.
I have only been at this since '94 but have a mentor (he is my Orchid
Society) & friend who helps me.
Cheers Wendy

I've been reading the newsgroup for a while, and first off I'd like to
thank everyone for some damn good advice. And a few laughs.

Come on guys, fess up now. How many do you have, and of what types,
what's your setup, etc. This is just curiousity, mind you. I'm as
curious about those with one orchid as one thousand. I'll start it
off:

25-30 Dends, a dozen Phals, 3 Oncs, 5 catts,and a Paph. (many are
seedlings!)
In a spare bedroom under 4 flor tubes- 2 cool white, 2 nat sun
room has shaded east window and small north window
water about every 10 days, Shultz Orchid Food 1/2t per 4gal every
other.
I usually dunk most of the plants in a bucket to water- 5 min?
About a year into it.

I can't wait to read other responses! Hope it's all growing well where
you are.
